Samuel’s cheek was swelling up because of the slap, making a sharp contrast with the other cheek.
He couldn’t think too much about it. He just wanted his grandmother to escape with his sister.
It was better for only him to be held captive by Sampson rather than the whole family being held
captive.
By this moment, Jessica had already run quite far.
Maria called again to urge him to hurry up, “What is the matter with you? It has been so long. And what
happened just now?”
Sampson couldn’t explain clearly on the phone, he quickly said something along the lines of ‘I will be
there immediately’ and hung up.
He didn’t plan to chase after Jessica, he could also blackmail Dolores with just one of them.
He was afraid that Samuel might have some other trick up his sleeve. He grabbed Samuel’s head and
slammed it into the car door. Samuel felt a lot of pain.
Warm liquid flowed down from his forehead.
His eyes went dark and his consciousness gradually faded as he fainted.
Sampson threw him in the back seat, got into the driving seat and started the car.
Not long after he left, another car drove over. Abbott had just sent him the location after investigation.
There was a village near Dingqiao Bridge and he had locked his target on that village.
Apart from that, there was no place to hide.
Abbott followed behind with others.
“Don’t worry too much. Your son is very smart, nothing will happen.”
When Abbott called, Dolores had turned on the speaker and found out that Sampson was going to
kidnap Jessica and the kids.
Ever since then she had been very anxious and had said nothing to Matthew.
“Smart?” Her eyes were red, “He is just a five-year-old kid, how can he deal with an adult?”
She knew that she was taking her anger out on Matthew but she couldn’t help it.
What if something happened to Samuel?
“It is all my fault. I shouldn’t have been away from home. I left them at home without any concern that is
why this happened.” She blamed herself.
She never thought that Sampson could suddenly become like this.
She had known him for ten years.
How could he kidnap her child?
Can someone’s heart be so fickle?
Her heart hurt so much it felt like someone was tearing it apart with a saw.
Knowing that she was worried, Matthew reached out to squeeze her hand, clasping her hand tightly in
his palm.
He didn’t say anything to comfort her. She didn’t look like in a state to be comforted with words.
Jessica didn’t keep on running, she held Simona tightly and hid herself.
Seeing a car coming by, she ran out on to the road to stop it.
Abbott was driving the car when he saw someone from a distance. When he got closer, he could see
who was standing by the road side. He speeded up to reach Jessica, stopping beside her.
“Please help me! I encountered a bad guy, can you…” Jessica started to ask for help without even
looking at him. When she looked at him, she stopped mid-sentence.
Although, she had only seen him a few times, Jessica knew that Abbott was Matthew’s assistant.
Abbott got out and opened the back-seat door, “Get in, quickly!”
“Thank you.” Jessica got into the car with Simona in her arms.
Simona had been very obedient. Jessica had told her that they were being chased by a bad guy and
that she must stay quiet.
So, when they hid, she kept her mouth tightly closed and didn’t say anything, like a very clever child.
“Samuel was taken away. Can you call the police for me?” Now sure that she and Simona were safe,
Jessica asked Abbott.
“Don’t worry, I already brought people.”
Abbott motioned her to look back. She had been too nervous and hadn’t looked behind Abbott’s car. At
this moment, there were several cars including police cars parked behind them.
Jessica had been too anxious and had asked Abbott to save Samuel before she could think about how
Abbott knew that they were in danger.
He was still just a five-year-old child.
Even if he was smart and clever sometimes.
In Jessica’s eyes, Samuel was still a little child.
“Don’t worry, Mr. Nelson and Miss Flores are already on it. They will definitely rescue Samuel. Let me
take you to a safe place first.” Abbott started the car, drove to the captain Boyce’s car and stopped. He
went to Boyce who was sitting in the passenger seat, looking at the map, and said, “You go ahead, I
have something to do.”
Boyce looked back at him, “Okay, I will handle it here, you go.”
He had locked the location.
“Okay.” Abbott drove the car away and called Matthew to tell him that Jessica and Simona were safe,
so that Dolores could feel a little better and not worry too much.
“What about Samuel?” Jessica and Simona escaped, but what about Samuel?
“He was taken away by Sampson. Your mother probably discovered Sampson’s intentions. At that time,
she must not have been able to save both children.” This was Abbott’s guess. After all, two five-year-
old children can’t run very fast, an adult can catch them easily.
He was still awed at Jessica for having out run Sampson.
Although Jessica was not really old, her physical strength was definitely not as good as Sampson.
Plus, she was still holding a child in her arms.
It must not have been easy to escape.
“Please take care of them.” Dolores held the phone, still panicking.
“Take them to the villa.” Matthew said.
The place where she lived was too unsafe.
No one dared to trespass in his villa.
Moreover, the security system and the anti-theft alarm were all top-notch, and he could also arrange for
security guards to protect his villa.
Dolores thought for a moment, she had completely fallen out with Sampson and Herbert family was not
an ordinary one. She would not be at ease if she went back to her house.
“Take them to the villa.” Dolores repeated Matthew’s words to Abbott.
“Okay.” Abbott replied.
By now, they had entered the village. Dolores hung up the phone, but did not put it down, just held it
tightly in her hand.
It seemed that only holding something tightly made her feel less nervous.
The car speeded across the village on the very uneven and bumpy road.
Suddenly Dolores spotted a familiar car, and she said quickly, “That’s Sampson’s car.”
She urged, “Hurry!”
“Okay.” Matthew looked particularly patient.
He knew that she was anxious and even though the car was on maximum speed, he still replied calmly.
Sampson’s car was parked in a house’s yard.
The blue brick wall surrounding the bungalow was very low and looked worn out as if not taken care of
at all.
In the yard.
Sampson had only brought Samuel and Maria was very angry, “Isn’t your relationship with them very
good? Where are the others?”
“They found out.”
“How could they have found out?” Maria roared, “I told you to not mess up, but you still messed up over
and over again. If you had succeeded last time then there would have been no need to do this.”
She was about to lose her mind, “Sampson, was it really a mistake or are you too weak to handle
them?”
Maria seriously suspected that the problem was Sampson’s weak determination.
“I tried my best!” Sampson yelled at his sister for the first time, “Because of this matter Lola and I are
finished.”
Even if he blackmailed her to marry him by kidnapping her child, she was not ever going to treat him
like before. She never loved him anyway.
But at least she was willing to be close to him and treat him as a close friend.
He was afraid that now he had become her enemy.
“Don’t act like you have sacrificed. You are selfish to your core! Don’t forget, before you accepted me
as your sister, you hid the truth that you found from her.” Maria could see through him clearly; he was
just like her.
He was just good at disguising.
And now he had revealed his true nature.
